CuiZine Restaurant & Lounge

The food was delicious! We shared a baked brie appetizer and I had Beef Wellington & my husband had a steak. All was delicious! The atmosphere is really nice. I’d definitely love to go back and sit in the bar area where they had someone playing music next time but it was extremely busy so might have to get there pretty early for that.

I'm not even sure where to begin with this restaurant. I went here on 9/23/2023 for my 13th wedding anniversary and to say it was perfect would be an accurate statement.

We started off with some Craft Cocktails and they were fantastic. I got watermelon for Round 1 and Black Cherry for Round 2 and they did not disappoint. My wife got wine and of course who doesn't love wine??

Next were the appetizers. My wife got a gigantic sea scallop with Caviar on top and I got Escargot. 10 out of 10 on both appetizers and yes I do like Snails.

The main course is where the magic happened. I got a beautiful 14oz veal chop that was cooked perfectly and cut like 'buttah' and my wife got Miso Glazed Sea Bass. I don't say this lightly, but the sea bass could have possibly been the best fish I've ever eaten in my life. The texture and the taste was unlike anything I've ever eaten. The fish flaked perfectly and the flakes were huge. Easily 10 out of 10 here.

For Desert we had tiramisu and what can only be described as a creme brulee 3 pack... They were both fantastic and the coffee was excellent as well.

Our server was Buddy and he never EVER had us waiting for anything. He gets a 10/10 as well.

Lastly, they have the most delicious butter to go on the hot pretzel bread that they bring out. I asked my server about it and apparently chef makes it himself, infusing it with herbs and other deliciousness.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this restuarant for your fine dining. I will be back for sure! Thank you for making our 13th perfect!!

Update: I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the lady singing. I believe she started around 6 PM, and she truly had the voice of an angel. It was a wonderful touch.

This place is such a pleasure. Last night was my second time going and everything was as wonderful as the first. Relaxing and elegant ambiance, polite and communicative service. Our server Mandy was attentive and informative, we had a fun little banter back and forth. We enjoyed some cocktails, a bottle of wine, a meatball appetizer, a wedge salad, and I had the sea bass as my entree while my boyfriend had veal chop. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The menu is thoughtfully laid out and there’s so many great things to choose from. There was a singer who was lovely and the music was kept at a nice volume. My only complaint is that it’s so far away, but worth the drive!

My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and decided upon a very last minute stay on the beach. We needed a great meal to go with it and decided to give CuiZine a try.

We went in with nearly zero exceptions and came out with a 2+ hour meal of impeccable service, outstanding food, beautiful music and just great vibes all around.

We had a reservation, but showed up a little bit early. It was no issue and they quickly ushered us to a great table that gave us perfect view of the violinist/singer (more on her later)… and on top of that they had done up the table with rose pedals and had champagne glasses ready for us to start the night off with.

Colin took care of us all night and what an absolute treasure he is. His knowledge of the menu was excellent and he helped guide us all night with great knowledge of the flavors and techniques used to create each dish. Let’s not forget the fact that he’s a sommelier and a cocktail guru, what a fun conversation he was throughout the evening (and I came away with some new projects to try at home with mixing flavors and liquor!)

So let’s talk food, because that’s what you’re here for.

We started the night with the Chef’s Special Burrata and French Onion Meatballs. Both were exceptional. The burrata was so flavorful and fresh, it was an excellent start to the meal. The French Onion Meatballs were exactly as you’d hope they would be and exploded with that French Onion flavor.

There is also a bread course. I probably could have skipped the little breadsticks, but the bread itself was baked perfect and incredibly tasty. A little sea salt on the very good butter would have been chefs kiss perfect.

Oh and those French Onion Meatballs I mentioned? They were so good we just HAD to try the French Onion soup that it was based on. The soup did not disappoint, my wife and I split the soup and devoured it quickly. Our two year old would have been in heaven with it.

So while all of that delicious food was going on we were treated to the violin and vocal stylings from Charlotte Goodman (Char Good as we came to learn!). She added the perfect ambiance to the meal and was clearly having fun the entire time. The fact that she would roam the room and play to tables really took the performance to the next level.

She came over and asked if we had a wedding song (we did, I Knew I Loved you by Savage Garden). She didn’t happen to know the song (or the few backups we picked, I swear my wife wanted to challenge her to the max)… but minutes later she started up I Knew I Loved You and nailed it. It was so much fun to watch her try to figure out how she wanted to handle the song and by mid-way through she had figured out her groove and was feeling it. It was so special and fun.

Then the main courses came. I did the chef’s special Osso Buco and it was done up exactly as you would hope. It was so tender and spiced very well. The risotto paired with it was exceptionally flavorful and really made it a complete dish.

My wife did the Parmesan Crusted Veal Chop. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and exploded with flavor. It’s a must have on the menu for sure.

Somehow, after all that we still had room for desserts. We were finishing up past closing time so my heart was broken with the lack of Creme Brulee, but the Flourless Hazelnut Chocolate Cake hit a spot I didn’t know I had. It sealed the meal perfectly while my wife did some ridiculously chocolatey chocolate cake that she loved.

All in all it was an exceptional evening. The owner and chef came by and chatted with us a bit and was very friendly. They let us stay past closing to finish up our meal and we really appreciated that.

You want the tl;dr? Excellent food, great ambiance, wonderful music and Colin is the best.

Oh and the cocktails were on point too!!! Though I kind of want to try some of the magic Colin was talking about making at home. Haha!

We went to celebrate a birthday, The manager is amazing! From start to finish, she guided us! Our girl waiter, that took EXCELLENT was AMAZING! He was very transparent throughout the entire process. Everything ran smoothly. She gave suggestions for making this smooth process happen. I forgot the important part! The appetizers were so yummy!!
In the restaurant there was a girl singing with a beautiful voice, the repertoire of songs was classics and well-known songs, like You "Don't own me", she was an excellent performer.

Absolutely brilliant experience all around. We had a large group so I made a reservation, and we were seated right away upon our arrival. A few of us (including myself ☺) started with the smoked old fashioned, which had the best presentation I’ve ever seen. (I won’t ruin the surprise, you just have to try it.) We ordered a few shareables for the table: escargot, filet mignon eggroll, and several bowls of French onion soup. For the main I tried the truffle pasta with a lobster tail, and let me tell you this may have been the best pasta dish I have ever eaten. Desert was a mixture of crème brûlée, bread pudding, and espresso martinis. Everything from service to food was phenomenal, we will absolutely be back. Thank you!!

I went the other day for a date with my spouse and I was amazed by this place. The host was very attentive, the waitress was spectacular, the atmosphere was very romantic, decoration was spot on. They offer you either water or cucumber infused water!!! Loved it!!! Also, you get complimentary bread, tastes delicious!! I highly recommend this place!

Last night we went for our first time to celebrate our anniversary. The whole experience was perfect. They had our table ready with rose petals and a champagne toast. The craft cocktails were delicious. The food was out of this world. I had the veal chop and my husband had a rib eye. Both were cooked perfectly to order. The crab bisque is excellent. The violinist serenaded us with our request of our wedding song "How sweet it is" by James Taylor. The chef and owner, came out and introduced himself and asked us how everything was. We we will definitely be back. The best restaurant we have been to in a long time!!

Amazing! Best steak in town! I had the Waygu ravioli special and my partner had the NY strip cooked to perfection.
Cydelle was an incredible server answering all of our questions and giving us the perfect amount of space to enjoy our evening. We had such a great time and cannot wait to come back.

Took my wife here for a romantic dinner. What a fantastic experience. I ordered the A5 Wagyu steak special, and she ordered the caprese appetizer. Both were excellent. Today I have eaten the best steak of my life. My wife is not a big fan of steak, but she loved it and also kept remarking what an amazing flavor the steak has. We finished the meal with the creme brulee, which was very good. The service is excellent and so is the atmosphere. Just a fantastic experience.

I had dinner tonight at this fabulous restaurant which was a courtesy of a pharmaceutical rep. First time here and I don’t travel often to beachside. The food from appetizer (escargot) to entree (lamp chops) to dessert (key lime mango pie)was fantastic. The ambiance is great for a date night. I’ll definitely come back again. Our server, I didn’t catch her name was great and had all our orders and drinks correct.

In the pictures are escargot, mushroom bisque, lamp chops. The dessert was all eaten before I got a picture ☺

Me and my friends had a wonderful time at CuiZine. Everything was amazing. Our knowledgeable, friendly, and fun server Jennifer shepherded us through a delicious meal. She knew every detail of the menu and provided excellent recommendations. We were also wowed by the live entertainment. A very talented electric violinist played a variety of musical genres. People were dancing and we were definitely singing along to the songs we knew.

Our meal was DELICIOUS!!! We had rhe filet mignon egg rolls as our appetizer. It was perfectly cooked and served on a bed of lettuce and mango salsa. Our entrees were miso glazed Chilean sea bass, Oscar style boneless ribeye, and lamb chops. Each was cooked perfectly. We shared an order of lobster mac and cheese. It was served with an entire lobster tail on top. For dessert we had the creme brule. It came in a beautiful dish that highlighted three different flavors of the confection. We also had mango key lime pie. The sweet mango was a perfect balance to the tart key lime flavor.

Our meal ended with a happy birthday serenade from the violinist and chocolate cake because we were celebrating birthdays. We were hoping to find a nice place for a birthday dinner and CuiZine knocked it out of the park. If I'm ever in the Cocoa Beach area, I will DEFINITELY be returning.

We recently went to Cuzine for our anniversary and had an exceptional evening. We’ve dined there many times and have always enjoyed it but they made our special day better than we could have expected. Thank you to the entire staff.

Everything was delicious! Chef Z is doing a great job! Outstanding flavors! Party of 4 truly enjoyed our time!

The atmosphere is elegant and the live singer did a great job. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the 16 oz ribeye, oyster mushrooms and bread pudding.

Excellent steaks, sides, service, and we even were alerted to the SpaceX launch as we left.

Their food was amazing. My first time trying their food that wasn't some type of snapper and I loved it. OMG this place is outstanding

We go to Cuizine for anniversaries and birthdays and our experience over the past several years has been consistently outstanding in all aspects. To our knowledge this is the only truly fine dining restaurant beachside.

The special last night (our 39th anniversary) was an exquisitely prepared lamb shank…the best we’ve ever had and we’ve had lamb shank in many places including the Middle East. Everything we had was five stars!

Our New Year resolution is to visit Cuizine much more often and continue to enjoy Chef Zoran’s mouth watering creations!

This place is an absolute gem. The atmosphere, attention to detail, and exquisite quality and presentation of the food make CuiZine my choice for every special occasion, and every day that ends in a "y" really. Bring your friends. You have my word, you will not leave disappointed.

We had dinner Saturday, and I’m still talking about how wonderful It was. Our server, Maria was so informative about the menu, specials and what CuiZine is known for. She really had me wanting to try everything. She was warm and very friendly. Tonya also checked on us, and was very personable. We started with bottle of wine-then salad and soup. We both decided to go with steak/which was outstanding. I love the specialty sauces you can get with the steaks. The Creamed spinach the best I’ve had. One of the best dining experiences I have had-the service, food, staff, music and ambiance just outstanding. Thank you for making my birthday dinner so memorable. We will be back!
